Her pallid blooms. fling lavish gold
And princely- purple wealth untold,

Perce Ptibly.
Baltimore Sun.
Baltimore Is the leading market in the
world for terrapin. The finest species are
probsly found in Chester river, although
1t requires connoisseur OF considerable
ability to discriminate between those
caught in Chester river and those
taken from other waters and the
marshes along the Chesapeake.
The implements for catching terrapin are
very simple. They are often taken by
dragging in waters where they are niber-
mating, or the terrapin hunter, armed
with stick, on one end of which is
hook, will walked around the marshes
inserting it into holes made by muskrats
and other animals, and if the stick comes
in contact with a terrapin, the hook
epd is inserted and his terIapinship
Is brought forth. Several are often taken
from one bed. They are in state Of
lethargv when caught in the winter se+-
son. 10 very cold weather they will often
free ze, and, though heroically tested, they
show no sign of life. II submitted to
warmth they will most likely die when in
this condition, though II placed In q YES
sci Of cold water they will generally thaW
out.
Although Maryland has the reputation
for serving terrapin, 1t is not always
that one even here can purchase a
plate of real diamond-back at ho'els or
| restaurants, while In other states it
Is next to impossible to purchase it
| prepared. The cost of real terF8l

species, can be easily worked ii when

cities outside Of Baltimore where the
palate Of the ccnnoisseur is less Gulf
waited, an analysis of dish of Ter
rapin, which was billed oH the
menus as "Terrspin, Kary-
land STYLE" would disclose q
hash wherein the slider has supplanted
the diamond-back and veal and chicken
are thrown in tor bulk, with eggs manu-
featured for the purpose, the whole ia
vored with sherry wine and spices. 1t is
| not surprising that people who eat this
dish at diamond back prices go of WON
dering why people rave about terrapin.
The true way OF preparing terrapin r

enjoying the dish are flrst, 8 purse that
will stand the expense, and secondly, an
appreciative palate. The fact that sim
plicity in preparing terrspins is the best
method was proved some years ago at q

the close OF the fair, there was q rush
that nearly depleted the market, and the
terrapins alone netted several thousand
dollars 10 the fair, for more were eaten
during that month than ever before in the
ssmetime.
AS the preparation was the secret OF
the demand, il may prove OF interest to
give the receipt. 1t was as follows:
After killing the terrspin By cutting of
his head and allowing him to bleed, boil
him until the shell can be removed, then
remove the liver end carefully cut out
the gall bladder, which is imbedded
therein; then pick the terrspin into
email pieces, reserving every portion ex-
cept the shells and gall bladder. To this
add a little salt and pepper, and, If desir-
able, small piece Of butter. No water
need be added, as sufficient juices will
have accumulated during the picking
operation. Then stew over coal fire or
chafng dish and serve in hot plates, and
II sherry or other wine is to be
drank during the feast, be careful not to
let any OF it spill eiter into the Chatting
dish or on the terrapin when served. II

Dealers say that the supply OF terrapin
has not deteriorated of late years in
SarylaBd waters, though but little
has been done in the direction of
terrapin farming or pounding. The cost
of terrapin varies according to the
supply and the size and condition. For
the finest terrapin, under ordinary condi-
tions, $50 to $50 per dozen is paid,
though good terrapin can be purchased
for considerably less money.
